There was nothing too complicated about the Bournemouth man’s display but he took the fight to Haiti in a historic World Cup victory The fixture was about 15 minutes in and a familiar script appeared to be taking shape. In addition, after an initial flurry, Scotland were under the pump, struggling to agreement with the intensity and physicality of a determined Haiti side.
Reports also note that passes were going astray and tackles were being missed. Further context suggests it seemed only a matter of time before calamity became manifest, but there was one route of escape, summarised eloquently by a cry from the crowd: “Hit it long for the wee man!” Ben Gannon-Doak, the wee man in question, did what was required of him. Further context suggests the balls did indeed start going long to the Bournemouth winger, and, when they did, he took the fight to the opponent.
